Estella would love to be invited to a tea party.
I’m sure Robin and Ehgg wouldn’t mind.
And then I have several other moose who would probably like to go.

A-pusher (THEM-COM) [15:38]:

This was a totally normal conversation to have right? While at work? Right? Riiiiight???

You’ll also notice that I no longer work for THEM in Cerritos. THEM closed the office in Cerritos and combined it with the office in Commerce. A-pusher is based out of Commerce now. Since we also have an office in Irvine, I was relegated to Irvine. So…we no longer share the same office. Oh well, not like we ever were in the office at the same time anyway.

Besides teaching myself German right now using Duolingo, I’m also brushing up on my French. And there are some pretty ridiculous French sentences in the sentences they give me to translate.

I may have mentioned one of these ridiculous sentences to a friend. Maybe. And then I may have illustrated parts of the resulting conversation because it’s approximately what I saw in my head. Possibly.

Me: L’éléphant est vert. 1:56 PM

Me: Where did they come up with that? 1:56 PM
Friend: Elephants are green 1:56 PM

Me: Well, just one elephant. THE elephant. A particular elephant. That one there. 2:00 PM
Me: Everyone knows of the green elephant. 2:00 PM
Me: I mean…he’s green. Unlike his colleagues who are all gray. 2:01 PM

Friend: Yes. When they r sick. They turn green 2:01 PM

Friend: Or when he’s envious of the other elephants 2:01 PM
Me: Possibly. He shouldn’t be at work today. He’ll make the rest of the elephants green. 2:01 PM
Friend: He’s not at work. Why would he be at work if he’s green! 2:02 PM
Friend: It’s not like the elephant works for THEM 2:02 PM
Me: Do you think THEM has discriminatory hiring practices? Or a quota? Max 2 green elephants per office? 2:04 PM
Friend: I might be the elephant of LA [emoji] 2:05 PM
Me: But you aren’t green. 2:06 PM
Friend: I might be when I get back into this crappy no ac rental 2:06 PM
Me: No, I think you might turn red and then purple and then pop. 2:08 PM
